Huh.. please remove my name from the reply, 'cos I'm getting your answer
twice!

About that javascript code, it was very simple: something like
onload(document.source=newdocument) in the HEAD section, with
newdocument being the version for newer browsers, that is, latest
standards version like actual gnupg.org page. This way, older browsers
can go to a HTML 2 page, which is completely sure, either through a
standard HTML REFRESH directive with zero time, or a "click here" link,
being this the whole thing.
